| description | The overall aim of the study was to examine the relationship between iron
status, blood lead concentration and academic achievement of selected urban
primary school children. The specific objectives were to assess the iron status and
blood lead concentration of subjects and to determine the relationship between these
parameters and their academic achievement. In addition, other factors such as
socioeconomic status were examined. Study subjects were 108 (47 male and 61
female) aged 132 ± 9 months with good health and nutritional status. Study subjects
were urban Malay primary school children attending two schools (Sekolah
Kebangsaan lalan Pasar 1 and Sekolah Kebangsaan lalan Pasar 2) in Kuala Lumpur.
Five-ml venous blood sample was collected from each subject. The hematological
parameters (hemoglobin and hematocrit) were measured by using the
Cyanmethemoglobin and M icrohematocrit methods respectively. The biochemical
indices of iron status (serum iron, serum ferritin and total iron-binding capacity)
were measured by using the methods of colorimetric test with Ferrozin®/ascorbic
acid, IMX® Ferritin assay-Micropartical Enzyme Immunoassay (MEIA), and |
